Plédran is a dynamic commune in the Brittany region of northwestern France, with a population of approximately 6,500 residents. Part of the Saint-Brieuc Armor Agglomération, the town is characterized by its lush natural surroundings, most notably the Bois de Plédran, a 130-hectare forest that serves as the "green lung" for the area and the primary setting for this race. The demographic profile is largely families and working professionals who benefit from the proximity to Saint-Brieuc. With a strong tradition of local volunteerism and sports associations, Plédran maintains an active community life, centered on environmental preservation and outdoor recreation.
Groups looking to participate can take advantage of bundled offers that include race entries and catering at a discounted rate via the HelloAsso platform. For example, a package of four solo entries and an apéro board for four people is available for €50. Individual registration remains open on Klikego until the morning of the race, though some categories, like the Relay, often fill up quickly. Post-race services include available local accommodations and the much-anticipated social gathering where runners can share their experiences over local delicacies. For any technical questions regarding the course or registration, Antoine Lagain serves as the primary point of contact for the organizing committee.
